Level of Concordance Between Patients Perception and Physicians Evaluation of Cardiovascular Risk

Completed

• Conditions: Cardiovascular Risk

• Registration Number: NCT01781416
• Lead Sponsor: AstraZeneca

Brief Summary

This is a national, non interventional, prospective study performed in the general practice setting.

The study has been designed :

* to assess the level of concordance between patients' cardiovascular risk perception and the cardiovascular risk evaluated by the physicians,

* and to evaluate the impact of patients' exposure to a medical information leaflet on patients' cardiovascular risk perception.
